The IRI gets a great group of teams every year. Who plans to apply this year?

All three Purdue FIRST teams plan on applying (461, 1646, 1747).

Good thing you guys are applying.
I have your flag from Curie.

We had a blast last year. The talent show was awesome. But unfortunately, we won't be able to make it this year.

Hopefully we can return in 2011.

Since IRI has the reputation as the off-season where the best of the best go to play, how good of a record does a team need to have to be considered?

We had the option to go in 2008 but turned it down. We will be applying this year, fingers crossed!

It is more than just the team record that get them considered.
Team 116 goes every year and have yet to win a regional.

I think that 1511 would have a good shot at getting in.

Need some roadies? :p

I know that I will likely be there, however I'm not sure if my team will go.

2791 and 1714 are applying. I'm trying to get some footage of 2791 at CT up, as we performed much better at CT than at WPI. Continuous improvement and all that, I heard it works. Of course, 2791 is already planning and designing off season modificaions.

1714 goes with the "If it gets you to the Championship semifinals and you come within 3 points of beating 1086 and 217, don't touch it" mentality, I think. The last hurrah for the team's awesome drivers and coach, all of whom are seniors.

Blue Cheese team 1086 is trying to work out the logistics, but those vary it looks like it is a go. We just need to apply ... May 3rd won't get here soon enough.

IRI is one of those events that every team should try to get to at some point. There's nothing like getting your butt kicked by the best! :D

Tom Bishop

team 1379 is applying! :)

to the other georgia teams applying - if more than just one team gets in we should definitely talk about sharing transportation

I'd like to have 964 apply, if funding allows. :)

Dillon Carey

23-04-2010, 12:41

I thought the winning alliance from the year previous didn't have to apply.

I believe they apply and then are automatically invited.

I thought we didn't usually get confused until page 3 going on 4. We are precocious.

Team 910 ,The Foley Freeze would not miss this awsome event ,as long as we get picked !!!!

Ben Martin

23-04-2010, 18:24

Good thing you guys are applying.
I have your flag from Curie.

Thanks for picking it up, we must have missed it! Regardless of whether or not we are selected, I'm sure someone from our team will be there to pick it up.

2415's applying. *crosses fingers* And I definitely agree about sharing transportation. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks(/months?)...

Team 254 has not officially discussed IRI yet but we will most likely be applying.

Team 254 has not officially discussed IRI yet but we will most likely be applying.

That's because they are too busy talking to us at the vex tournament. ;)
we have been away from home since April 13 and plan on applying when we get back next week.

Wayne Doenges

23-04-2010, 19:39

Team 1501 T.H.R.U.S.T. will be applying again this year. We haven't missed one yet.

Craig Roys

23-04-2010, 21:59

1718 will be applying - we'd love nothing more than to 'hang' out at IRI! [sorry...I groaned at my own bad pun there:D ]

Good thing you guys are applying.

Do you have our GM flag from Curie also? :D

2337 won't be attending IRI, but so we don't miss out on all the fun, I'm working on going with a small group of people who want to go from our team. Come watch the fun and be a floating cheering club. Unfortunately, I don't have enough people (or willing people to scout for fun during off seasons events) to scout it, or else you know I would be.

The Goats will be applying. The students are already discussing robot changes and talent show ideas. Also this years dates don't conflict with our biggest fundraiser for the first time in years.

Though Team 2345 hasnt talked about it this year, i am going to bring it up because i would love to exprience the awesomeness of IRI. Since this would 2345's first time even thinking about applying, can anyone explain how we would go about doing so, and what are our chances of getting in?Check out this thread: IRI - Registration, Plans, Changes for 2010 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85447)

On or around May 3, IRI applications will be available at this website:

http://indianaroboticsinvitational.org/ (http://indianaroboticsinvitational.org/2010_IRI/)

Fill out the application completely and submit well before the published deadline. Last year, almost 110 teams applied, 82 were selected and 72 ultimately registered. I'm guessing even more teams will apply, so you will need to stand out from a field of impressive applicants. Once you apply, wait impatiently for the list of selected teams to be announced. If selected, send your acceptance and payment promptly!

Nah the first time we applied was 2009.

I've always wanted to go to IRI, but this summer still can't be my first IRI- I'll be in Switzerland! Maybe next year. :)

AcesJames

24-04-2010, 22:36

I'd like for 176 to apply this year, as we never have before. Cant say anything official yet though. ;)

I think an offseason event as competitive as IRI would be good experience for us. :cool:

CassCity2081

Team 2081 will hopefully be making their second appearance at the IRI!

I think it was 51 or something, they had this great idea to like, catch balls before they hit the ground and redirect them into the goals, or was that 125?
